There are quite a few 2 up 2 down properties in various parts of The Wirral,easy access to Liverpool for Colleges and to parks,easy transport to Chester and all its History,lots of good dinner clubs for over 60s all subsidised along with bus passes for over 60s.
There is plenty of options for transport trains/buses/ferries you will never be without anything to do.

Worksop, north Nottinghamshire.
We live in an old Victorian semi, three bed, long garden down to railway line. Houses on our road go for about the above price, Ten minutes walk is town, ten minutes in the other direction farmland and forest.
Working class area, and friendly.

I'm assuming that you don't have any work commitments but, do you have any family that you would like good transport links to?

I'm on the Lincolnshire coast, 5 minutes walk to the beach, and you could find a nice 2 bed terrace here for that. Cinema, theatre and 2 colleges all local.

I can't imagine there is anywhere in the UK where you can buy a property for £95K.

Can you not apply for social housing in your current location?

Sheffield ticks all your boxes. Easy access to the Peak District by bus or car, and every service you could think of in the city. Some parts of the city are more pricey than others, but you might well find something that suits your budget and provides all the things you are looking for.

Hello ladies, I'm getting divorced (am 62) and we'll have to sell our small semi, and hope to fund two small properties. If lucky, we'll have about 95k each. This will buy nothing where I currently live, but I'm ready to move anywhere in the UK. Could anyone recommend towns which have properties in this price bracket, where I could live with a cat, and create a new life? Ideally with a local college for evening classes, a good library, cinema, and perhaps even theatre. Hope to find opportunities for voluntary work too. Nice countryside would also be good...! Thanks
